Simultaneous multi-channel reconstruction for TDS-OFDM systems

Time domain synchronous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (TDS-OFDM) has higher spectral efficiency than standard cyclic prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM), which is achieved by using a known pseudorandom noise (PN) sequence to replace the classical CP. However, due to the interference between the PN sequence and the data block, the performance of TDS-OFDM degrades severely over fast fading channels. To solve this problem, based on the distributed compressive sensing (DCS) theory, we propose an efficient way to realize simultaneous multi-channel reconstruction, which is achieved by using the inter-block-interference (IBI)-free region to reconstruct the high-dimensional sparse multipath channel. Specifically, we propose to utilize the temporal correlation of wireless channels as well as the channel property that path gains change much faster than path delays to simultaneously reconstruct multiple sparse channels. Then, we propose the parameterized channel estimation method based on simultaneous compressive sampling matching pursuit (S-CoSaMP) algorithm to achieve better channel estimation performance in fast time-varying channels. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can achieve improved performance than conventional solutions.
